Rebar Circular Bending Machine Sold To Malaysia
A Malaysian rebar fabrication contractor ordered a rebar circular bending machine (CNC hydraulic variant) for site work on a bridge project.
The machine—40 m/min bending speed, 3 kW CNC roller drive, 260 kg total weight, 380V/50Hz 3-phase—ships to the customer’s freight forwarder warehouse in China for consolidation, then by sea to Port Klang and overland to the construction site.
This case documents the rebar circular bender configuration, the China-warehouse shipping model, and customer feedback from Malaysian buyers.
Customer Background: Malaysian Rebar Fabrication Contractor
A mid-size rebar fabrication contractor operating in the Klang Valley, serving bridge, highway, and high-rise projects across Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Johor.
Typical projects run 200-500 tons of bent rebar per month: pile cage ties, pier column stirrups, and curved rebar for cantilever structures.
The CNC rebar circular bender is one of the existing GWH-series mechanical rebar arc benders.
What Are the Rebar Circular Bending Machine Specifications?
Specifications of the rebar circular bending machine (CNC hydraulic variant):
| Parâmetro | Especificação |
|---|---|
| Tipo | Rebar circular bending machine (CNC hydraulic variant) |
| Velocidade de flexão | 40 m/min (continuous feed) |
| Power supply | 380V / 50Hz / trifásico |
| Potência do motor | 3 kW (CNC operation rollers) |
| Overall dimensions (L x W x H) | 950 x 830 x 840 mm |
| Net weight | ~260 kg |
| Sistema de controle | CNC touchscreen (English + Bahasa Malaysia interface) |
| Hydraulic system | Closed-loop proportional valve, 16 MPa working pressure |
| Compatible rebar diameter | 6-16 mm (round bar and deformed rebar) |
| Faixa de raio de flexão | 20-200 mm (CNC programmable) |
| Bending angle range | 0-180° (CNC programmable, 0.1° increments) |
Three specs matter for Malaysian site work: 40 m/min, 3 kW (matches standard 3-phase site generators), 260 kg (1-ton forklift portable between sites).
How Does the China-Warehouse Shipping Model Work for Malaysia?
The customer uses a Guangzhou-based Chinese freight forwarder to consolidate shipments from multiple Chinese suppliers. The CNC machine ships from our factory to the forwarder’s warehouse in Guangzhou, then by LCL (less-than-container-load) sea freight to Port Klang, then overland to the Klang Valley site.
- Step 1 — Factory to forwarder warehouse: Truck from our factory to Guangzhou (1-2 days domestic). Plywood case with internal foam bracing (1.05 m³, ~280 kg packed).
- Step 2 — Warehouse consolidation: The forwarder holds the case 5-10 days to consolidate with other Malaysian-bound shipments.
- Step 3 — LCL sea freight: Guangzhou → Port Klang via Singapore transshipment, 7-10 days.
- Step 4 — Malaysian customs clearance: The forwarder’s Malaysian affiliate handles customs (CKSP/K8) and SST release in 2-3 days.
- Step 5 — Local delivery: Trucking from Port Klang to the Klang Valley site, 1-2 days.
Total door-to-door transit: 16-22 days. Total freight cost (LCL + customs + delivery): roughly USD 450-650 per cubic meter, or USD 500-700 for the 1.05 m³ shipment.
Customer Feedback & Application Results
After two months on the bridge project, the CNC machine produces 8-10 tons of curved rebar per 8-hour shift—mainly pier column ties and cantilever reinforcements. CNC recipe recall cuts setup from 15 minutes (manual) to under 3 minutes (one-touch load).
“We already run other mechanical benders for high-volume stirrups. The CNC hydraulic model handles tight-radius pier ties that other models struggles with—radius below 50mm needs the precision. Setup is faster too: we store 30+ recipes on the HMI and recall them with one tap. The 260kg weight means we move it between sites with a small forklift.“

Key Takeaways for Malaysian Rebar Contractors
- Match the machine to the bending profile: CNC rebar circular benders excel at tight-radius work and variable geometry. Most Malaysian contractors run both.
- Use a China-based freight forwarder for low-volume shipments: One 260kg CNC machine doesn’t justify a full 40HQ container. LCL through Guangzhou-based forwarders consolidates with other shipments and cuts per-unit freight by 40-60% versus air freight.
- Confirm 380V/50Hz at the site: Malaysian sites typically run 415V/50Hz 3-phase (TNB grid) or 380V/50Hz from site generators. The 380V/50Hz rating matches the latter; for 415V grids, the motor is rewound at no surcharge.
- Ask for Bahasa Malaysia HMI: The CNC control system ships with English by default. Bahasa Malaysia interface available on request at no extra cost.
